    Manm you worked your booty off with that job. I know its alot of work fixing someting you did not break.
    At least you enjoy doing it.
    I feel like sometimes ppl abuse airbnbs for no reason.
    Ecepeclly that poor furnace.
    I learned something new that i didnt even know furnaces take a plug in order for them to work.
    Stay safe out there i know many of us are getting snow in the US.

      @@andrescott6725 I grew up in Aroostook County Maine I know what true cold is 🤣. They abused the property but I can assure you they will get the bill. Cool thing about these furnaces you can run them off a portable generator if you need heat in an emergency.

    Although $3k per night seems insane, it DOES NOT give you the right to be a complete jerk and run up the utility bill. If you aren't happy with the fee, then don't rent. It's as simple as that. I hope the renter charged them whatever your fee was to come out and do the repair plus $200 to $300 (or more if it should be more) for the additional untility fee PLUS whatever the damages were to the furniture and carpets. Shoot, this could be an extra $5k or maybe even $10k. I suppose if you can afford $3k per night though, $5k to $10k might not be that big of a deal.

      They sign a contract they will pay I see it all the time. Pay me now or pay me later but they are gonna pay for sure...

      @Matts_Crafty Forgive me if this is a dumb question but I'm assuming you are just the HVAC repair tech right? You aren't the home owner that is renting it out are you? I don't think you are but just want to make sure.
      Also, as a business owner yourself, you have to know that although you may have an airtight contract that will "likely" hold up in court, in "some" cases, there might be things that would cause you to lose a case which would suck. Or, even though you might "win" a judgement, UNLESS the client actually decides to pay you and does pay you, you can still be left with no money to take care of damages. "Winning" a judgement and/or court case or lawsuit is just a formal document saying you are the "winner" (for lack of a better term) or the one who came out with a positive judement for your side.
      But, unfortunately, unless that client physically decides to put cash in your hand or write a check that actually clears, that judgement doesn't really mean squat because at the end of the day, you still won't have money to take care of the damages and the client still gets to carry on with life. In situations like these, they "likely" wouldn't throw the client in jail for failure to pay the judgement. But, even if they did, what does it matter? The client can't pay the judgement sitting in jail with no revenue coming in UNLESS they are wealthy enough to be able to afford to pay you.
      I'm not trying to rain on your parade here but the reality of the situation is, a contract may only mean that you'll get a judgement in your favor BUT THAT DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU CASH / MONEY IN YOUR HAND OR BANK ACCOUNT.
      I know it sucks but that's the life of dealing with judements that clients don't want to pay. There aren't a lot of things you can do to "force" the client to pay. Now, you can start to seize assets to take care of the debt that is owed but my point in all of this is, this is a huge mess and a lot of time spent as well as a lot of money spent on court fees to get this all taken care of.
      I hope for the home owner's sake it all works out a lot easier than I'm presenting. Have a good day.

      Did he find out why the roll out opened? Was it from a dirty air filter? Was the rollout bad? Or he just didn't tell you anything?

    True story. In the hood, the tenants would receive a rebate from the Feds for their electric bill. So the project people would----------turn up the heat to blast and open all the windows and doors. No rent and a nice check every month. How can you beat that? Ask any illegal. (Hint: The IRS is involved.)
